Hi

Is the Burma border open in Ranong / Kawthaung for a border run ?

Anyone know anything about this ?

Mae Sot-Myawaddy border crossing: a Burmese colleague has spoken with immigration, who is adamant foreigners can now spend the day in Myawaddy on the same terms as Thais.

It's day return only, no overnight stays allowed. So for border bouncers, you now have the option to walk around town just as long as you deposit your passport with immigration, as per the usual system that existed pre-Covid.

For now, no travel outside Myawaddy is permitted nor are you able to travel to Myawaddy from the interior of Myanmar. Visas aren't recognized for entry.

The bridge opening hours are shorter than previously: 6am-6pm Thai time, instead of 5am-8pm.

To be confirmed, when I visit Mae Sot soon, so I'll update here.

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS (especially you people up in the North West)

## Mae Sai - Tachileik Border w/Burma

I wanted to post this because I was declining too many posts from people asking about Mae Sai. :O So if you tried to make a post asking about it and got denied apologies. ;)

Just so we're 100% clear on this; even though they announced the Mae Sai / Tachileik border crossing with Burma is open, in reality, (for all practical purposes) it is NOT open for foreigners to bounce in and out at :O

By that I mean, it's not open like it was pre covid (Mar 2020). You cannot just show up pay for the day pass, bounce out-n-back with Burma and stamp back into Thailand.

You have to BUY a visa for Burma before you show up at that border. You also need a negative covid test & proof you were vaccinated. So that means before you decide to bounce there, you get a real visa to get in, either at a Burma consulate here or via the Burma eVisa website.

That makes bouncing out-n-back at that border not that attractive for the "budget conscious" travelers :P

The ONLY border with thailand and burma that is open like it was before is the Mae Sot / Myawaddy border in Tak province.

You can bounce out and back there for 500 baht. no visa or anything required to get stamped in and out of burma.

For all other border bouncing you people up in the Northwest need to do it in Chiang Rai province with Lao.

Use either Chiang Saen (where you cross in-n-out of Lao by boat) or Chiang Khong / Huay Xai (where the friendship bridge is).

So, I’m planing on doing a border bounce by feb 22nd latest,(that’s when my 90 days visa is up),.Mae sot is the nearest border to me, is it still open for day trippers only ?,. What do I need documents wise if I do the border bounce in my car ?,.I wouldn’t mind staying one night in mayanmar and return to thailand on 23rd feb to give me a full 45 days in country,. Is border open 24/7 or is it open set hours ?,. Any costs involved doing the bounce ?,. What paperwork is needed ?,.passport/car documents etc,.Tia,,

Hi, if i m Taking Nok air from Dongmuan to Tak (Domestics departure) can i get the re entry permit at airport. the reason i m asking is i would cross the Myanmar border to go to Myawaddy city. is it possible at airport to get re-entry or should i buy from Chaengwattana in advance?

Quick question. Does anyone know when the mae sot-myawaddy border closes today for foreigners? Been reading conflicting answers of all from 18:00 to 20:00

Have any of you done a border bounce in ranong?

Do you know how long I can stay in Myanmar on the border pass that costs $10?

I have read conflicting answers of 1 day or up to 2 weeks
